Phone script This is a custom script I wrote out to call one girl who'd agreed to get together tomorrow and facebooked me to flake and reschedule. I think it's pretty good:
(flake-centric C&F. Best: It's a good thing you're smart, or I don't think
we could hang out anymore.)
here's the game plan:
In a minute I'm going to hang up the phone and continue chomping on my philly
cheese steak and talking to my friend WING here. You're going to do whatever
you were doing when I called you, but sometime today, you're going to go
through your apparently tangled schedule and find a good time to reschedule.
OK?
HBwhatever: umm...ok
Do you like gelato?
HBwhatever: Yeah!
Good. You are then going to jump online and find a gelato place near RESTAURANT. It's TOWN, I'm sure there's a good one. You'll figure out how
to get there, and then you'll call me and give me a time to meet up at RESTAURANT. I'll be out of the house w/friends tonight, so I'll have reception
'til pretty late. Do NOT tell me where the gelato place is; I'm sure you have
good taste. Then after dinner, you'll take me there, and maybe, if you're
good, I'll act all surprised and pretend you came up w/the idea yourself.
Are we good?
HBwhatever: Yeah
Good. How was your morning?
[proceed to slight IOI's after she's jumped through the ginormous hoop outlined above]
This is up for two reasons: First, I thought it might be helpful to someone trying to understand how to frame correctly, and second, if anyone can spot anything that could have been better, I'd of course be interested.
